CSCO was never a candidate, imo...

From the press release:
Cisco is acquiring Fibex Systems to help service providers manage the migration to the New World by aggregating local telephone service and data service in a single access device. Fibex Systems' IADLC manages both circuit-based voice traffic and packet-based traffic. An integrated access device also ensures that data traffic is immediately transferred to a cell and packet network, minimizing the need for service providers to invest further in circuit switch technology. In addition, Fibex Systems' products interoperate with carriers' existing Class 5 switches, data switches and customer premise equipment to ease migration to New World networks.

Cisco is acquiring Sentient Networks to help service providers migrate their data, voice and video services onto an integrated cell and packet switching infrastructure. Sentient Networks' high density ATM CES Gateway allows service providers to offer private line services over ATM networks. This gives Cisco a significant time-to-market advantage for transitioning the private line market to next-generation packet-based networks. In addition, the CES gateway interoperates with carriers' existing private line networks as well as standards-compliant ATM-based equipment.
